Death floods in the United States became more dangerous of man -made climate change – news – Climate

The case summarized a recent report states that the extreme weather that hit the United States earlier this spring became at least nine percent more intensely due to man -made climate change. At least 25 people were killed in the storm. The report goes hard against cuts in the US weather forecasting service. The researchers believe the meteorologists prevented a much larger disaster. The summary is made by a Ki service from Openai. The content is quality assured by news’s ​​journalists before publishing. In some places it fell over 400 millimeters of rain in four days. “This is the most powerful four -day rainfall period measured in that area,” says climate scientist at Cicero, Bjørn Samset. Roads turned into rivers and houses were smashed by tornadoes. Hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their power. A nine -year -old boy drowned while on his way to the school bus. At least 25 people were killed in the extreme weather that flooded eight US states in early April. Man -made climate change made everything worse, states a recent report.

They believe the extreme weather became at least 9 percent more intense due to man -made climate change and global warming. – 9 percent is quite a lot, although 9 percent may not sound like much, says Samset that there is a pretty sharp increase. He says it leads to a flood that exceeds what someone expected. – This is already the most powerful, most extreme, measured in the area. When you get 9 percent on top of it, you get severe damage. For this, society is not designed to endure, he says. This street in Kentucky was flooded.

Science continues to confirm that they are getting more dangerous as the planet gets warmer. That’s what co -author Shel Winkley says in a press release. Eight states were hit by the four -day storm: Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. – The study shows how hard the United States is affected by climate change. The four days of rain were the most powerful registered with a large margin, says co -author Ben Clarke. – The foremost of research Samset says that the World Weather attribution is the pioneers of this type of study. Who trying to answer the question: How much does climate change have to say for special extreme events? World Weather attribution is the ones who have made a lot of the method, and they have been there all the way, he says. Other research groups are now looking at the same, and they are largely coming to the same conclusions. – So this is absolutely credible. That is the foremost we have research on the topic, says Bjørn Samset. At the same time, at the same time, the meteorologist cuts emphasize how important the US weather forecasting service was to avoid an even larger climate disaster. The service not only warns the weather – it is also the one who warns of governing and tornadoes at short notice. In April, this was precisely crucial for no more lives being lost, the WWA researchers stated. However, after Donald Trump became president, hundreds of people have lost their jobs in the US weather forecasting service, according to the AP news agency. The researchers are going hard. The cuts can have consequences for Americans’ security in the face of future extreme weather, they believe: – The recent dismissals will put life at risk, says co -author Friederike Otto in the press release. In seven of the eight states, it was Donald Trump who got the most votes in the presidential election last fall. The world does not reach the 1.5-degree target, says more and more leading climate scientists. But every fraction more heating we can prevent further can save people, animals and nature. We made a 50 meter long thermometer to explain. Published 08.05.2025, at. 09.06
